As a professional, you, are your one and only asset. Without integrity you are worthless, but with it, you are priceless.

If you gentlemen (and I use the term loosely with Mr K in the group), wish, we can all work on mine! I'll commit to Piggy that I'll do a real chapter but then forward it to you. That will reduce the need for extra effort on the part of the fearful leader.

You should split your chapter assignment into several segments and farm them out. Call it Chapter-in-an-hour (CIAH). And thereby hangs a pig tale.

Piggy won't allow teams yet. I've tried again and again. But he is sitting over there with his fingers in his ears going "nah nah nah"... see... right there...

Actually, as it says in the FAQS, I'm more than happy for people to collaborate and take a shared credit on a chapter if that's what they want to do. The only proviso, is that the lead writer is responsible for making sure they hold the copyright in their entire submission before submitting.

I'd be disappointed* if anyone deliberately submitted a 'joke' chapter because no matter how funny I might personally find an in-joke filled effort, there'd be 23 other chapter writers that were put out that someone in their version of the book wasn't taking it seriously.

* - probably to the point of rejecting the chapter and either requesting a complete redraft (which I have done once in the previous 4 events) or simply missing the chapter in favour of including the chapter brief instead (which, again, I've only had to do once, and that was because of a no show in the days when we only had one book).

Mr Piggy... I've been good for one day now. Can I have my chapter yet?
